- Most lighting is only designed to meet the visual needs in most public library environments in Sweden. Although lighting-related impacts are relevant to six Unite Nations sustainability goals, some important lighting considerations, such as circadian phase disruption, mode and productivity impact, and energy-efficient operation, are missing in current lighting operating practices. Moreover, most of the current lighting asset management practice in public buildings remains "fix it if only it breaks". With respect to people-centric health factors, visual index, and lighting asset energy-efficient operation, this study sublimates lighting into a new perspective. Finally, the suggested comprehensive lighting operating strategies integrating digital twins can help designers and operators in defining the optimal design/control strategy in public-built environments, like public library. Digital twin-based decision-making is expected to be applied to lighting design and control in public spaces that improves visual acuity and comfort, positively impact mood and productivity, and provides recommendations on engagement principles under Environment Social Governance (ESG) framework to asset manager/operators.

- In Kac's classification of finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras, the contragredient ones can be constructed from Dynkin diagrams similar to those of the simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras, but with additional types of nodes. For example, A(n-1,0) = s (1|n) can be constructed by adding a "gray" node to the Dynkin diagram of An-1 = s (n), corresponding to an odd null root. The Cartan superalgebras constitute a difierent class, where the simplest example is Wpnq, the derivation algebra of the Grassmann algebra on n generators. Here we present a novel construction of Wpnq, from the same Dynkin diagram as A(n-1,0), but with additional generators and relations.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This proceedings volume presents results obtained by the participants of the 6th Baltic–Nordic workshop 'Algebra, Geometry, and Mathematical Physics (AGMP-6)' held at the Sven Lovén Centre for Marine Sciences in Tjärnö, Sweden on October 25–30, 2010. The Baltic–Nordic Network AGMP 'Algebra, Geometry, and Mathematical Physics' http://www.agmp.eu was created in 2005 on the initiative of two Estonian universities and two Swedish universities: Tallinn University of Technology represented by Eugen Paal (coordinator of the network), Tartu University represented by Viktor Abramov, Lund University represented by Sergei Silvestrov, and Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg represented by Alexander Stolin. The goal was to promote international and interdisciplinary cooperation between scientists and research groups in the countries of the Baltic–Nordic region in mathematics and mathematical physics, with special emphasis on the important role played by algebra and geometry in modern physics, engineering and technologies. The main activities of the AGMP network consist of a series of regular annual international workshops, conferences and research schools. The AGMP network also constitutes an important educational forum for scientific exchange and dissimilation of research results for PhD students and Postdocs. The network has expanded since its creation, and nowadays its activities extend beyond countries in the Baltic–Nordic region to universities in other European countries and participants from elsewhere in the world. As one of the important research-dissimilation outcomes of its activities, the network has a tradition of producing high-quality research proceedings volumes after network events, publishing them with various international publishers.

A holistic approach for a natural light variation experience : a pilot study of a practical application for office lighting
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Lighting is crucial for vision and has important effects beyond vision, influencing a variety of physiological and behavioral processes. When designing lighting, visual aspects, effects beyond vision, and perception of the environment should be considered together in a holistic approach. As humans evolved under daylight, a lighting protocol, based on a room context and daylight characteristics, was developed and described. The lighting, with customized light levels, spectral composition and light distribution that changed dynamically to evoke a perception of daylight conditions, was realized using commercially available luminaires and a digital control system. The resulting lighting conditions are described by measurements.

Surface modification of Ti6Al4V alloy scaffolds manufactured by electron beam melting
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, the results of the surface functionalization of the Ti6Al4V alloy scaffolds with different structures for use as a material for medical implants are presented. Radio frequency magnetron sputtering was used to modify the surface of the porous structures by deposition of the biocompatible hydroxyapatite (HA) coating with the thickness of 86050 nm. The surface morphology, elemental and phase composition of the HA-coated scaffolds were studied. According to energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, the stoichiometric ratio of Ca/P for flat, orthorhombic and cubic scaffolds is 1.65, 1.60, 1.53, respectively, which is close to that of stoichiometric ratio for HA (Ca/P = 1.67). It was revealed that this method of deposition makes it possible to obtain the homogeneous crystalline coating both on the dense sample and in the case of scaffolds of complex geometry with different lattice cell structure.

Thermal History Effects on Decomposition Behavior and Pyrolysis Mechanism of Cellulose Nitrate
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nitrocellulose is an important kind of energetic material produced by replacing hydroxyl of cellulose molecule to nitro, which has a wide application range in social life. During transportation and storage, inevitably the quality of the nitrocellulose will be affected due to external ambient heating. In this study, two kinds of NC samples, original and heated ones, were used as research objects and taken into DSC experiments under several constant heating rates to explore thermal history effects on its decomposition and combustion behavior. A series of calculation methods based on model fitting were main ways for research, so were model free methods. Numerical results by model fitting method showed that decomposition reaction of NC follows n-th reaction model. The comparison between experimental results of two kinds of samples claimed that thermal history had positive influence on heat flow, and increased the reaction order of decomposition process, and decreased the characteristic temperatures. So the thermal history made the decomposition reaction more difficult to take place and more stable. This study is obviously meaningful for the research of thermal pyrolysis process of NC after thermal history.

X-ray computed tomography of multiple-layered scaffolds with controlled gradient cell lattice structures fabricated via additive manufacturing
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we report on the characterization by X-ray computed tomography of calcium phosphate (CaP) and polycaprolactone (PCL) coatings on Ti-6Al-4V alloy scaffolds used as a material for medical implants. The cylindrical scaffold has greater porosity of the inner part than the external part, thus, mimicking trabecular and cortical bone, respectively. The prismatic scaffolds have uniform porosity. Surface of the scaffolds was modified with calcium phosphate (CaP) and polycaprolactone (PCL) by dip-coating to improve biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Computed tomography performed with X-ray and synchrotron radiation revealed the defects of structure and morphology of CaP and PCL coatings showing small platelet-like and spider-web-like structures, respectively.

Comparison of simulated energy consumption by smart and conventional lighting systems in a residential setting
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper investigated and compared how the energy consumption of a conventional and Smart Lighting System (SLS) in a simulated residential setting is affected by different households’ arrangements and occupancy pattern. An agent-based simulation model of a one-bedroom apartment in Sweden was chosen for comparison with different scenarios. The result shows that the number of residents within an apartment does not necessarily lead to higher energy consumption. Further findings indicate that, even though it has standby energy consumption, SLS is more energy efficient compared to the conventional lighting system. Additionally, energy consumption during weekends was considerably higher than during weekdays.

Charging of a person exiting a car seat
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. - : Institute of Physics (IOP). - 1742-6596.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Electrostatic charge is generated by the contact, rubbing together and separation of clothing and car seat upholstery. It is also known that the charging levels will increase in a cold and dry climate. Charge on clothing will induce a separation of charge in the body of the wearer. The net result is an increase in the electrical potential of the body (or body voltage), thereby creating the risk of an electrostatic discharge (ESD) in the form of a spark from the charged human body to a large or earthed conductor. As charge is also bound to the surface of the clothing, brush discharges from the clothing can follow. The effects of sparks from the human body in the environment of a car may be a) to cause uncomfortable and distracting shocks to the person; b) to cause damage or disruption to electronic systems (GPS devices, vehicle management systems, etc); or c) to ignite flammable fuel vapour. A brush discharge from clothing may also ignite fuel vapour and be a risk for (unprotected) sensitive electronic devices (ESDS). The characteristic shape of the discharge current in a brush discharge is very similar to a Human Body Model (HBM) discharge. Measurement systems for determining body voltage and recording brush discharges are described. Results are presented of tests conducted with various combinations of car seat upholstery and clothing in different test environments. The antistatic property of some automotive textiles including conductive threads is emphasized.

A novel approach for removing the hook effect artefact from Electrical Bioimpedance spectroscopy measurements
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Very often in Electrical Bioimpedance (EBI) spectroscopy measurements the presence of stray capacitances creates a measurement artefact commonly known as Hook Effect . Such an artefact creates a hook-alike deviation of the EBI data noticeable when representing the measurement on the impedance plane. Such Hook Effect is noticeable at high frequencies but it also causes a data deviation at lower measurement frequencies. In order to perform any accurate analysis of the EBI spectroscopy data, the influence of the Hook Effect must be removed. An established method to compensate the hook effect is the well known Td compensation , which consists on multiplying the obtained spectrum, Z meas (ω) by a complex exponential in the form of exp[jωTd]. Such a method cannot correct entirely the Hook Effect since the hook-alike deviation occurs a broad frequency range in both magnitude and phase of the measured impedance, and by using a scalar value for Td . First a scalar only modifies the phase of the measured impedance and second, a single value can truly corrects the Hook Effect only at a single frequency. In addition, the process to select a value for the scalar Td by an iterative process with the aim to obtain the best Cole fitting lacks solid scientific grounds. In this work the Td compensation method is revisited and a modified approach for correcting the Hook Effect including a novel method for selecting the correcting values is proposed. The initial validation results confirm that the proposed method entirely corrects the Hook Effect at all frequencies.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we investigate the volume-amplified magnetic nanobead detection assay with respect to bead size, bead concentration and bead oligonucleotide surface coverage in order to improve the understanding of the underlying microscopic mechanisms. It has been shown that: (i) the immobilization efficiency of the beads depends on the surface coverage of oligonucleotides, (ii) by using lower amounts of probe-tagged beads, detection sensitivity can be improved and (iii) using small enough beads enables both turn-off and turn-on detection. Finally, biplex detection was demonstrated.

Stochastic motion of a laminar/turbulent interface in a shear flow
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. - : IOP Publishing. - 1742-6596.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Plane Couette flow is a classical prototype of a shear flow where transition toturbulence is subcritical, i.e. happens despite linear stability of the base flow. In this studywe are interested in the spatio-temporal competition between the (active) turbulent phase andthe (absorbing) laminar. Our three-dimensional numerical simulations show that the delimitinginterface, when parallel to the streamwise direction, moves in a stochastic manner which wemodel as a continuous-time random walk. Statistical analysis suggests a Gaussian diffusionprocess and allows us to determine the average speed of this interface as a function of theReynolds number Re, as well as the threshold in Re above which turbulence contaminatesthe whole domain. For the lowest value of Re, this stochastic motion competes with anotherdeterministic regime of growth of the localised perturbations. The latter, a rather unexpectedregime, is shown to be linked to the recently found localised snaking solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. An extension of this thinking to more general orientations of the interfaceswill be proposed.

AD5933-based Spectrometer for Electrical Bioimpedance Applications

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- o build an Electrical Bioimpedance (EBI) spectrometer using the Impedance Measurement System-On-Chip AD5933 together with a 4-Electrode Analog Front End (4E-AFE) has been proven practicable. Such small measurement devices can make possible several new applications of EBI technology, especially when combined with functional textiles, which can enable wearable applications for personal health and home monitoring. After the implementation and functional validation of the 4E-AFE-enabled spectrometer, the next natural step is to validate for which EBI applications the 4E-AFE-enabled system is suitable. To test the applicability of this novel spectrometer on several EBI applications, 2R1C equivalent models have been experimentally obtained and impedance spectroscopy measurements have been performed with the system under study and with the SFB7 EBI spectrometer manufactured by ImpediMed. The 2R1C circuit parameters have been estimated with the BioImp software from the spectra obtained with both EBI spectrometers and the estimated values have been compared with the original values used in each circuit model implementation. The obtained results indicated that the 4E-AFE-enabled system cannot beat the performance of the SFB7 in accuracy but it performs better in preciseness. In any case the overall performance indicates that the 4E-AFE-enabled system can perform spectroscopy measurements in the frequency range from 5 to 100 kHz.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A hot topic in today's debate on global warming is drag reduction in aeronautics. The most bene cial concept for drag reduction is to maintain the major portion of the airfoil laminar. Estimations show that the potential drag reduction can be as much as 15%, which would give a signi cant reduction of NOx and CO emissions in the atmosphere considering that the number of aircraft take os, only in the EU, is over 19 million per year. An important element for successful ow control, which can lead to a reduced aerodynamic drag, is enhanced physical understanding of the transition to turbulence process.

Classical probability model for Bell inequality
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. - : Institute of Physics (IOP). - 1742-6596.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We show that by taking into account randomness of realization of experimental contexts it is possible to construct common Kolmogorov space for data collected for these contexts, although they can be incompatible. We call such a construction "Kolmogorovization" of contextuality. This construction of common probability space is applied to Bell's inequality. It is well known that its violation is a consequence of collecting statistical data in a few incompatible experiments. In experiments performed in quantum optics contexts are determined by selections of pairs of angles (θi,θ'j) fixing orientations of polarization beam splitters. Opposite to the common opinion, we show that statistical data corresponding to measurements of polarizations of photons in the singlet state, e.g., in the form of correlations, can be described in the classical probabilistic framework. The crucial point is that in constructing the common probability space one has to take into account not only randomness of the source (as Bell did), but also randomness of context-realizations (in particular, realizations of pairs of angles (θi, θ'j)). One may (but need not) say that randomness of "free will" has to be accounted for.

- The interaction of clusters with intense EUV-FEL pulses was investigated using the SPring-8 Compact SASE Source (SCSS) test facility in Japan. Neon clusters of mean sizes = 1000 and 4000 were irradiated by intense FEL pulses at 52 nm and emitted ions were detected by a momentum imaging spectrometer. The production of energetic doubly charged ions was not found for Ne 1000, but it was observed for Ne 4000 clusters, which suggests that an inhomogeneous charge distribution is generated for the larger clusters.

Effect of free-stream turbulence characteristics on boundary layer transition
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. - : IOP Publishing. - 1742-6596.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present measurement campaign on the free-stream turbulence inducedboundary layer transition scenario has provided a unique set of experimental data. This newset of data has the potential to enhance the understanding of the eect of the free-streamturbulence characteristic length scales on the transition location and not only the turbulenceintensity, which has been the focus in most previous studies. Recent investigations where theturbulence intensity has been kept essentially constant, while the integral length scale has beenchanged, show that the transition location is advanced for increasing length scale. The presentdata conrms previous results for low turbulence intensities, but shows the opposite behavior forhigh turbulence intensities, i.e. that the transition location is advanced for decreasing integrallength scales. Important to underline here is that the integral length scale has a relatively smallinuence on the transition location as compared to the turbulence intensity and data analysesare now directed towards enhanced understanding of how the dierent parts of the incomingenergy spectrum aects the energy growth inside the boundary layer.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The electrical resistance of dysprosium metal has been measured as a function of hydrostatic pressure up to 1.2 GPa at temperatures from 300 K to 700 K, and at atmospheric pressure from 80 to 700 K. Our data at atmospheric pressure and at room temperature agree well with literature data. The total pressure coefficient of resistance at 300 K is found to be dlnR/dp = -2.98 x 10(-2) GPa(-1) and to decrease slightly with increasing temperature. The results are discussed in terms of simple free-electron type models.

Comparisons of the nonlinear and the quasilinear model for the bump-on-tail instability with phase decorrelation
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. - : IOP Publishing. - 1742-6596.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The dynamics of discrete global modes in a toroidal plasma interacting with an energetic particle distribution is studied, and in particular when the dynamics of the system using the nonlinear and quasilinear descriptions are macroscopically similar. The dynamics can be described with a nonlinear bump-on-tail model in a two-dimensional phase space of particles. A Monte Carlo framework is developed for this model with an included decorrelation of the wave-particle phase, which is used to model extrinsic stochastisation of the wave-particle interactions. From this description, a quasilinear version of the model is also developed, which is described by a diffusive process in energy space due to the added phase decorrelation. Due to the reduced dimensionality of phase space, the quasilinear description is typically less computationally demanding than the nonlinear description. The purpose of the studies is to find conditions when a quasilinear model sufficiently describes the same phenomena of the wave-plasma interactions as a nonlinear model does. Via numerical and theoretical parameter studies, regimes where the two models overlap macroscopically are found. These regimes exist above a given threshold of the strength of the decorrelation, where coherent phase space structures are destroyed on time scales shorter than characteristic time scales of nonlinear particle motion in phase space close to the wave-particle resonance. Specifically for the quasilinear model, a theoretical value of the time scale of quasilinear flattening is derived and numerically verified.

Matrix inflation and its string theory origins

Ingår i: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. - : Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP). - 1742-6596.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Motivated by the dynamics of N coincident D3 branes in some specific flux compactifications, we construct an inflationary model in which inflation is driven by three N Oe N hermitian matrices i,i = 1,2, 3, hence the name Matrix Inflation, or M-f lation for short. We show that one can consistently restrict the classical dynamics to a sector in which the i are proportional to the N Oe N irreducible representation of SU(2). In this sector our model behaves like an effective inflaton field, which t akes super-Planckian field values, and 3N(2) -' 1 isocurvature fields. These may have the observational effects such as production of iso-curvature perturbations on cosmic microwave background. Moreover, the existence of these extra scalars provides us wi th a natural preheating mechanism and exit from inflation. Due to the super-Planckian excursions of the canonical effective inflaton, the model is capable of producing a considerable amount of gravity waves that can be probed by future CMB polarization ex periments. Furthermore, the fine-tunings associated with unnaturally small couplings in the chaotic type inflationary scenarios are removed. We also show that even if the cutoff of the theory is lowered by the square of number of species, one can still us e the effective field theory approach to justify the absence of higher dimensional operators.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Microplastics pollutants in sediment have been notified in freshwater and estuaries from different countries. However, microplastics abundance, distribution, and polymer types in surface sediment from Euphrates River were reported for the first time. Microplastics were found in all sediment sites along the river, and abundance ranging from 29.6 to 120.0 particles/kg dry, with an average 86.7 particles/kg dry. Fiber particles were the most predominant form (57.1%), followed by films (29.6.2%) and fragments (13.1%). The polymers identified using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) which was dominantly polyethylene (44.1%), polyethylene terephthalate (35.0%) and nylon (20.2%). It is clear that the microplastics levels in sediment from Euphrates river were polluted and these data will be useful for manage and rehabilitation the Iraqi rivers to reduce possible microplastics pollution.
